Hoax

While investigating vandalism to another article, I noticed that a schoolboy or girl using the IP 207.136.223.5 (talk · contribs) which is registered to Vermont Academy, Saxtons River, VT made edits which constitute an apparent hoax related to his/her prep school. I reverted to the previous version. ---CH 04:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Overseas availability?

I know that Selfridges in Birmingham (UK, not Alabama) sells Fluff, and in considerable quantities judging by the space it was given on the shelves. Is this particularly unusual? 86.132.141.4 00:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. I was given some for my 18th birthday a few weeks ago, and it was bought here on the desolate (well, not very large/populated) island of Gotland. It's the times of globalization... Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 01:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

You can also buy it here in Australia. I daren't touch the stuff. 203.59.117.158 13:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I have purchased it from my local Tesco Extra store here in the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.32.105 (talk) 17:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

It is also available at a lot of german supermarkets. Mainly the standard and strawberry flavours, and it is the Durkee-Mower Fluff. So it is NOT "principally sold in the US" like the article states. Somebody should correct the article. --88.134.124.40 (talk) 11:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I saw some on the shelf in Sainsbury's tonight in Redhill, England: http://www.flickr.com/photos/themaxsons/6931109830/. Matt 173.255.161.34 (talk) 18:39, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Limpert Company citation in error

I believe the sentence claiming that the Marshmallow Fluff sold in the northeast and shown in the picture was invented by the Limpert Company is in error. Durkee-Mower is the maker of that Marshmallow Fluff, and they purchased the recipe from its inventor, Archibald Query, as mentioned elsewhere in the article. Durkee-Mower shares a trademark on the name Marshmallow Fluff with Limpert Brothers, but the two companies sell different, if similar, products under the name.

Composition

Some people may wish to know more about the composition of Marshmallow creme. I'm of the opinion that it contains neither Mallow nor cream, though I cannot back this up. Crashtech 03:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree

Ingredients are an important component of this entry, especially as it is being listed under food. I found this article to be mostly fluff. APDEF (talk) 10:20, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Refrigeration

I, for the life of me, can't seem to find any information on why this substance doesn't need refrigeration! Article after article, even on the food blogs, no one seems to answer this question. A mission for the editors is to discover the entity behind this phenomena and add it to the article! Melia Nymph (talk) 03:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I would imagine it has something to do with the fact that marshmallow fluff is mostly sugar, which is a preservative of sorts. 68.116.51.126 (talk) 11:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Eggs can be pasteurized, and are an ingredient in many homemade and commercial marshmallows. The aforementioned levels of sugar (honey never goes bad) can then serve as a preservative. --Belg4mit (talk) 19:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Uses

All that is listed about what Marshmallow Creme is used for are sandwiches and a very little bit about uses in Arab culture. In my experience the most frequent use of Marshmallow Creme is for making fudge. (And this is the recipie printed on jars of the "Kraft" brand product). Surely this and other culinary uses deserve a section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 03:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
